Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 40: Angry

Chapter 40: Angry

Jason put the poster that contained the ranking of all students. There were a lot of students having 0 points, but there were also some impressive scores, especially the top scorers.

Rudeus Viti Liaystian: 5100 points. August Reeves: 4585 points. Nathan: 4351 points. Selena Ashton: 4328 points. David Leivester: 3780 points.

“As expected of his highness Rudeus, he is the number one.”

“He dominates the entire challenge with such a big gap.”

“August has fought well, but he comes short.”

“But look… the third rank…”

“Impossible. How could the farmer achieve that?”

“What did he do?”

“He beat Selena?”

The students dropped their jaws in disbelief. A lot of them knew that Nathan was strong, but not this strong. They never expected that someone who couldn’t summon a humanoid creature to actually be in the top three.

Rudeus and August couldn’t help but squint their eyes. Back then, they considered Nathan a potential threat, while Selena was one of their rivals. After seeing this score, they realized they were too naive. Nathan wasn’t a potential threat. He was already a dangerous shadow that was about to grab their backs.

If they underestimated him again, they might be devoured by Nathan without them realizing it.

*Bam!*

Jason slammed his hand on the table to stop the students from talking.

As soon as he got the quiet he wanted, he opened his mouth. “These are the scores for this trip. First of all, I’d like to congratulate everyone who manages to survive until the very end.

“A good summoner is a living summoner. You can’t do anything if you’re dead. However, what is worse than a dead summoner?”

Jason’s expression darkened before unleashing all his rage. “It is a summoner who can’t do a single thing. You were even worse than the summoners who didn’t get the survival points. At least they managed to drag down some aliens before they dropped out.

“What about you? Just look at this ‘0’ point. Are you proud of having this kind of score?” Jason banged the board, specifically on the names without a single point. “People have been pouring their resources and time into you, yet you can’t do anything.

“And what do you do? Instead of reflecting on your own failure, you are enjoying your life inside the village? Complaining about how your place is better than the village.”

The students didn’t dare to meet Jason’s eyes.

Jason stated, “You should have realized by now that the people sent to the frontlines are unable to go against the aliens. Only we, summoners, have the ability to fight them.

“After looking at your pathetic results, I only have one thing to say. You might consider dropping out instead of wasting your time to become a summoner.”

Jason was truly angry. It was already dark outside, yet Jason didn’t bother to wait until tomorrow to express his disappointment.

Of course, Nathan and other students with good grades didn’t think much about Jason’s words. They already understood it and worked on it without Jason telling them.

Jason said, “Next week, the school will be giving you the chance to summon your second familiar. All students are no exception. In other words, you will have to summon another familiar with the current Ena you possess.

“If you think that is not enough, this will be the last time you’re given a chance to drop out of school.”

Jason started handing paper to the students while explaining, “You will write down the item you need for the ritual. For the next seven days, you’ll be focusing on swallowing the cores you’ve received and getting as many Ena as possible.

“Only after this one-month period ends that you’ll be able to go outside the academy to take on missions.”

Nathan took a look at the form. It was a simple form that wanted them to describe the item. They wanted to know what kind of familiar the students wanted to summon and would probably give them advice in case there were some mismatches so that the student didn’t summon the wrong familiar.

Selena looked at this form with a sad expression. Because she lost to Nathan, she couldn’t get the information about Lilith.

‘I already know what I want to summon, as for her…’ Nathan scratched the back of his head. He whispered, “Selena.”

Selena’s body shook. When she turned her head to him, Nathan noticed the tears forming on the corner of her eyes, making Nathan feel bad.

He knew how much this bet meant for Selena. Even then, he had to win for his future. Of course, if Selena was too weak, he would definitely not be able to help him.

That was why Nathan said with a smile, “Fenrir seems to want to talk with you because he is curious about big figures that he might know.”

“!!!” Selena was dumbfounded. Was it a pity? But she had no choice but to accept it since she really needed that information.

“Because I can’t summon him here because of the rule, I’ll have him sneak into your room. Just open your windows and tie something into the window to let him know which one is your room.”

Selena nodded furiously. In exchange for the knowledge about this world and the figures that had been summoned that he might know, Fenrir would tell her about Lilith.

“I understand.” Selena couldn’t waste this chance.

Nathan smiled. Fenrir didn’t know that he was still under contract to help him. Nathan could shove all the knowledge he had about the myths, and Fenrir had no choice but to do it.

After all, if Nathan were the one telling her about Lilith, Selena would be suspicious as to where the information came from. One wrong word would make her realize that he was the one who had that information, not Fenrir. He just wanted to avoid that kind of scenario.

Jason announced, “You have two days to turn that form since the academy needs time to find those items. If you don’t have any questions, you are allowed to leave. Get a good rest after this trip.”
